Now that the January NPD results have been posted and adjustments have been made. It's time! I'm doing it again, folks! A New Year brings a New Comparison. 2018 vs. 2019 for all three major systems. The PlayStation 4, the Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. If you followed my 2017 vs. 2018 thread, it's pretty much note for note. Just swap 2017 for 2019.

Right out of the gate, we can see all three systems picking up where they left off from this past holiday season. The Switch is surging to the top while the PS4 and Xbox One are clearly on the decline. However, with recent hardware numbers, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 did not seem to have much of an effect on hardware. It looks as though the drop for PS4 and Xbox One may be steeper than I thought, especially in the Xbox One's case. I'm sure Sony is in no real rush to bring in the PS5, Microsoft on the other hand.... Yeah, I'm sure they're counting down the days. Meanwhile, everything is looking sunnyside up for Nintendo. With how stacked 2019 is shaping up after their recent Nintendo Direct, there's no telling how high the Switch will go. In fact, I think they're gonna go for that 20 million target again, and this time, if all goes as planned and they maintain their release schedule + whatever else they have planned, I think they'll do it!

According to my first calculations for this thread: By the 4th week of last year, the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch sold through roughly 7.15%, 4.97%, and 5.75% of their yearly sales respectively.

Applying those same percentages to this year, given the first 4 weeks of data we have now, this is what all three systems would sell in 2019:
